Atlanta, Ga. -- The calendar said otherwise, but Duke held its "Bloody Tuesday" at the Georgia Dome on Friday morning.

The Blue Devils held their second practice in as many days at the site of the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl, this time donning dull pads after Thursday's workout in helmets and shorts.

The Blue Devil Network spoke to Coach Cutcliffe, tight end Braxton Deaver, and runningback Juwan Thompson beforehand as Duke held its most intense workout in preparation for their New Year's Eve tilt with Texas A&M.
